Waterfall<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He charged the same as Grab would charge me, the benefit for him is the app doesn&#8217;t take a piece of the pie. The benefit for us would be that he&#8217;d hang around and take us back so we didn&#8217;t have to worry about there being no drivers available that far out from town. He was an AWFUL driver. It felt to me like he was forever driving in a gear that was too low for the speed. So, he would be in a state of acceleration revving the rpm\u2019s up until he\u2019d abruptly let off the gas when getting close to a car or turn. The drive took 2 hours to get there and after 15 minutes I already had shaken baby syndrome.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We blessedly arrived at the destination. I decided to rent some water shoes from a house next to the start of the trail because I forgot to bring my Tevas. We paid an entrance fee at a kind of ticket booth, then started the hike down stairs. They came to a lookout point fairly quickly. I took the drone out and got some cool footage. We continued down the stairs. Towards the bottom, there were sections where the path was descending rock with water pouring over it. So, it was a good thing I was not wearing my flip flops which had the tread worn totally smooth. The hike to the waterfall is pretty much stairs all the way down, then stairs back up to leave.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we got to the bottom, we were charged for an additional ticket to turn the corner to see the waterfall.

Past the cave area is a staircase guarded by trash monkeys that will lead you out of the canyon. It seems the staircase area up top is being developed for Airbnbs &#8211; lame.

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At 12:15 a.m. I got a message from our driver saying he was outside. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We stopped at one other hotel to pick up another couple. I was crushed to learn they were French and just as I feared, I could smell the guy the instant he got in the car. Luckily, he put on another layer and then it wasn&#8217;t a problem. We weren&#8217;t driving for long before we pulled over on the side of the road. We had to get out of the car and sit on some steps to wait for a different driver to pick us up. Other people were dropped off at the same location.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eventually, some old land cruisers lined up along the curb and we were told to hop into one. The French guy was tall so he arranged for two Indonesian girls who were in the front of the vehicle when we got there to be moved to the back. It felt pushy and unfair at first because they clearly didn&#8217;t want to move and they were there first. I was jealous of him and his girlfriend for getting the front and simultaneously glad he took it because the back was CRAMPED. Instead of regular seats, there were two tiny benches facing each other. It would have been uncomfortable if I was back there by myself, with four people it was torture. I couldn\u2019t move my body at all and the roof was too low for me to sit upright. I had to hunch my head the whole way there. Apparently, the national park has a rule that only old Land Cruisers are allowed inside. It sounds fake but if you go you&#8217;ll see only retro Land Cruiser! It was the worst car ride of my life and I prefer not to draw out the details. For me, the pain is still too near.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We drove onto a dirt road as we got closer and got thrown around as the fleet of Land Cruisers seemed to race each other to get there first. We made it back onto a paved road where we finally and blessedly parked and got out. It turned out to be moving from one torture to another as it was freezing outside. I had some thin layers on and long pants but it was still cold. I couldn&#8217;t find my wool buff and after thinking about it, I felt sure I had put the buff in my fanny pack. I realized I didn\u2019t have my fanny pack and went all the way back down to the car to get it. My searching became more and more frantic. After searching for a while, I came to the conclusion it could not be in the car. So, it must either be in the first car or on the side of the road. My wallet, passport, and GoPro were in it. As you might imagine, I was freaking out trying to remember where I left it. I have a terrible memory so I was drawing a blank. I used Google Translate to tell the driver that I thought I had left it in the last car and asked him to please reach out to the other driver for me. I ran back up the hill to find Indi in one of the little shacks\/cafes to tell her the news.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We sat in the store for a while and each drank a small cup of hot milo. We moved to another store close to a lookout point. It was very cold, in the store it was warmer, but still cold. I was so desperate for extra insulation that I inflated my neck pillow and wore it around my neck. We had to wait quite a while but eventually light began to show on the horizon. We went outside to a lookout point and huddled for warmth. We stared at the horizon for a while before trying another spot. We realized that we had been looking at the wrong side and that the real view was on the other side.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A plane of fog covered the ground, sitting below the tops of multiple volcanoes. The sun rising over Bromo National Park was the most beautiful sunrise I have ever had the pleasure to witness.\u00a0<\/span>Gunung Batok\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1rem; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">is the dormant volcano with deep regular lines that run its length. The look is quite striking.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">A constant veil of steam billows from the closest crater &#8211; Mt. Bromo.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1rem; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">The tallest volcano in the back would let out occasional circular puffs of steam.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">As time went on, there was enough light to launch the drone. I got some photos and videos but spent most of the battery on a timelapse. The battery was gone by the time it finished. That ended up being a bad idea because the timelapse didn&#8217;t turn out. The sun had just started to shine on the volcanoes, so\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-size: 1rem;\">I landed the drone and relaunched it with a fresh battery.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">I got a few more shots and then I had to land because we were supposed to be back at the car at 6:00 am.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">On the way back I tried to poop but had no success. As I squatted, I looked at my phone and saw that the driver of the first car had found my fanny pack! I left the restroom feeling greatly relieved, just not in the way I had expected.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d340861 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d340861\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8bb9d66\" data-id=\"8bb9d66\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a4b6b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"9a4b6b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eecbf9f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"eecbf9f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Mount Bromo Crater<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a81b7bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a81b7bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8142-1024x768.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10924\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8142-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8142-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8142-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8142-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8142-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8142-16x12.jpeg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25c9f91 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"25c9f91\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">We all piled back in the car and after being stuck in a traffic jam, got down the mountain to the plains at the base of the volcano. We took some photos, then drove right up to the base of the crater. Neither of us was very excited to go see it, but we had nothing better to do so we followed the line of tourists marching through the dirt. The ground was a mix of sand, dirt, and horse poop. You have to hike with face and eye protection to survive. Luckily, we both had sunglasses and something to cover our mouths. The hike to the crater was just about as unpleasant as I had imagined. You&#8217;re surrounded by a barren, hostile landscape as you march through the dust in the hot sun getting covered with the dust you, and everyone else is kicking up into the air. When you get to the volcano you&#8217;ll get in line and slowly climb stairs that ascend to the rim of the crater. The payoff when we got to the top was just as lame as we expected &#8211; sulfurous steam coming out of an ugly crater. Maybe we&#8217;ve just been to Yellowstone National Park too many times, but there was nothing exciting to either of us about staring at the steam vent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-524bebe elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"524bebe\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-67cc09f\" data-id=\"67cc09f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0393326 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"0393326\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9bf61bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9bf61bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Lembah Bantengan<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-774d9fd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"774d9fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DJI_0955-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10918\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DJI_0955-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DJI_0955-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DJI_0955-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DJI_0955-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DJI_0955-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DJI_0955-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0da431c elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0da431c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-size: 1rem;\">We started speaking with the French couple while walking down from the viewpoint.

We had just had a fairly rough experience at a waterfall the previous day so we agreed.\u00a0The driver followed a dirt path around the volcanoes to the other side of them. The road led to a flat plain at the foot of a steep, green mountain wall. The mountain was strangely uniform in size and shape, like building a long wall out of sand on the beach. When we got out of the Land Cruiser, Indi laid her krama out for us to sit on.

The small road off the highway to get to our house has eroded to an alarming extent, and will eventually collapse, but to live in such a place is well worth the risk. By day, lush, green mountains are visible extending from a small valley. A river cuts a path between the mountains; a short ride on my moped can take me to a spot in the river where a 6 ft waterfall flows into a round pool where green herons fish and locals cool off. By night, a giant white cross on the hill just below us lights up, on Wednesday\u2019s the sound of the church\u2019s hymns makes its way to our porch. The night comes alive with the sound of frogs and insects and the occasional Puerto Rican screech owl. House geckos crawl around the house\u2019s exterior to hunt bugs drawn by the light. I feel lucky every day to live here and do my best to never take it for granted. We love exploring the island and since moving here, have done and seen a lot. My google maps is a messy mix of pins, many are pins of where I want to visit, and dozens more are favorite spots I have saved, from beaches, to hikes, to restaurants, to cultural sites, and more. Puerto Rico is a big island and there is so much to do. We have played the part of tour guide for friends and family on numerous occasions. I like to plan everything, which means a detailed itinerary crafted for every visit. After several such occasions, I have decided to share a travel guide for future visitors to benefit from my experience of planning travel and traveling around this special island.\",\"sameAs\":[\"http:\\\/\\\/westindiestravel.com\",\"https:\\\/\\\/facebook.com\\\/westindiestravel\",\"https:\\\/\\\/instagram.com\\\/westindiestravel\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.pinterest.com\\\/terrestrialtemple\\\/\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/@westindiestravel\"]}]}<\/script>\n<!--
